After a few weeks of consistently working out, eating healthy and dropping a few pounds, I knew I didn’t want to ruin my results with a weekend girl’s trip. I already planned on giving myself a diet break those few days, not working out and basically eating everything that I could haha.

I wanted to prepare for the aftermath by researching a good juice cleanse I could use upon my return. And to be honest, I just went with the cheapest one I could find as most of the juice cleanses I found were quite expensive. I decided to go with Good Cleansing. The website was enticing, they had a large selection of appeasing cleansing products and the reviews were decent. For $76 we had a hit!

They had a couple of different cleanses to choose from, but I decided with the Beginner Juice Cleanse. I wanted a cleanse with variety that wasn’t too bland so I could actually complete the 3 days. They also have 5 and 7 days options, but I knew I didn’t want anything too difficult for my first cleanse attempt in years.​Shipping was a whopping $32 (so I paid $108 total), not sure if this is standard for a large UPS ground shipment, but I justified it as so in my head. After ordering from the website, I received email confirmation same day and another confirmation that my order was complete 3 days later. It then took 2 days to ship my order. In total, it took 5 days to receive my order after purchasing the cleanse.

As shown here, everything was packaged well and there were no issues with my bottles. I was super excited to start this cleanse the next day!

TASTETEST! – The ultimate test for me was the taste of each juice. I knew if I wanted to complete the 3 days, taste would be essential.

1. Citrus Fusion

​(Grapefruit, Bee Pollen, Orange, Lemon, Ginger)​Perfect one to start with. It has a reminiscence of orange juice with a twist. It does have some pulp which isn’t my preference, but I didn’t mind it. It was a little tart from the grapefruit, but still yummy overall. This one still tasted yummy each day I had it.

2. Power Almond Milk

(Vanilla Bean, Hemp Seed, Chia Seed, Raw Almonds, Dates)​This was really good when I had it on Day 1. It was identical to regular sweet almond milk without being too sweet. It was a great mid-day treat. Unfortunately, on the 2nd and 3rd day this one was horrible. It was too sour for me to drink even though I tried my best finishing them. Even though I stored the juices in the fridge, I’m guessing these had spoiled overtime and created that unbearable sour taste. For days 2 and 3, I replaced this juice with a banana since this was the most carb dense drink.

3. Bee PALM

(Bee Pollen, Pineapple, Lemon, Apple, Mint)

I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this one. I never tasted bee pollen before, but I was surprisingly shocked. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE ONE YET! This was definitely my favorite juice out of the cleanse, it was so good. It had a sweet pineapple apple taste (without the apple). Pretty hard to explain but trust me it’s good. I wanted to save this for last that’s how much I enjoyed it.

4. Sweet Greens

(Cucumber, Pineapple, Parsley, Celery, Apple, Kale) ​This tasted like your typical green juice if you ever had one, except it wasn’t as bad as some. It was tasty and bearable. I think the pineapple and apple made it really easy to drink. This one was bearable each day.

5. Love Your Liver

​(Grapefruit, Carrot, Apple, Beet, Flax seed)

This one has a strong beet taste and I don’t like beets so I didn’t care for this one that much. On the first day this was my least favorite, but by days 2 and 3 I actually started to enjoy the taste. My body seemed to crave the healthy vitamins and minerals overtime. ​

6. Vegetable Broth

They recommend heating this one up at the end of the day for a warm satisfying last meal. Once heated, it tastes just like regular soup without all of the artificial flavoring and sodium. On Day 1, I loved this. It was really satisfying to finally have something warm at the end of the day and I enjoyed the taste. On Days 2 and 3, I was getting quite tired of the taste (and probably the cleanse in general) so it was not as great as the first day, but was still pretty decent.

Execution and Results:

​Before the cleanse, I was dealing with some really bad indigestion and stomach pain. Perhaps, I overindulged a little too much on my weekend trip. I gained quite a few pounds back from that weekend as well. Throughout the cleanse, my stomach pain was finally alleviated and I had very frequent bowel movements. I felt so much better because of this. Many people elude cleanses to be pure unbearable torture and have you craving everything in sight. I hate to say this but the cleanse was actually pretty easy for me, which I was shockingly surprised at. I intermittent fasted until 12 o clock every day and had a juice every 2 hours after that, which placed my last juice at 10 o clock. I highly recommend this technique because after each 2 hour mark I was getting quite hungry and the juices would knock that hunger right out. I also did not have any real cravings. This could be due to the fact I was getting ample minerals and vitamins and therefore, my body did not feel the need to crave anything. I watched my boyfriend eat full unhealthy meals right in front of me and I did not even want a taste.

Day 1, I had ample energy and felt great all day. Day 2, I began to get a little hungrier and a little light headed at some parts of the day, but only for brief moments. Day 3, I was little woozy, but spent most of my day in the house and doing housework, so I could lay down at any time I needed it. Overall, the 3 days were easy to complete and I was so happy and shocked that I actually did. I was even more happy with my results. I started the cleanse at 142 pounds, I got down to 134 pounds. The day after completion I had an epic cheat day and only gained 2 pounds back. It’s been a week or so after the cleanse and I’ve still been able to maintain 136 pounds. I would love to do the cleanse again one day down the line (hopefully replacing that sour Almond Milk with a different option). xo

Please let me know your thoughts and if you would consider doing this cleanse or your cleansing experiences!

This is a good review! I'm glad you noted that the shipping was so high. Im looking to get this thanks!

Placed my order on Sunday 4/22 for two juice cleanses (costing over $300+) to be delivered on Friday 4/27. Received a notification from UPS that my order would not be delivered until Tuesday 5/1 - but this wasn't going to work with the timeline we needed as we were trying to have a 'reset' before a series of work events/conference. I called in to Good Cleansing and spoke with a rep. The Rep (who also sounded as though he's the owner??) talked about how he was sure it would be on time for Friday delivery as UPS has been messing up their database and delivers have come before proposed times as of late (pointing the finger for blame). He told me, in a very "I'm too busy for this call" kind of way that he'd check with UPs rep and see what's going on and let me know something. 5 hours later, no call back so I ring the number again and get the same guy (I think this is a much SMALLER operation than what is perceived by the website) - he said he didn't get a hold of his UPS rep and that no to worry the package would be there on time as they have business 3 day delivery guaranteed on their shipments. But it wasn't on time, as I was speaking to him on Friday - the day I requested the delivery.

So I take matters into my own hands and call UPS myself. UPS confirms that for one, Good Cleansing didn't release the package until Wednesday, and for two that Good Cleansing doesn't do 3 day business that they do 5 day business and thus my package was confirmed that it would not be delivered until Tuesday evening following week - 7 days after it shipped due to the weekend days missed.

This is unacceptable - I do not want what is supposed to be fresh juice that has sat in UPS warehouses and trucks for 7 days. I called Good Cleansing back, no answer so i left a message. Called this morning, no answer left a message. Still no word, no email, nothing.

They do have a 100% guarantee on their website. I will be shipping the package back FULLY documented and will watch for them to refund me back. We'll see.

Thank you for the detailed review! It was really appreciated. Definitely help me make my decision to go for a different cleanse that dies not include The power milk and vegetable broth. I will be doing the five day cleanse and I'm super excited! Thanks again!

The same exact happened to. I get information on why my package was not delivered on time and the guy that picked up the phone was completely disrespectful. I will never recommend them to anyone. I juice at least once a year, previously with Press Juicery and I never had this type of service or response time. The juices come in fresh and on time.

Dani Pickens, Did they ever get back to you?

I bought their Transformational Cleanse with pills and would not recommend using this company. Instructions were supposed to come with the juice and pills but were not in the package and when I tried to get them they told me to get them from the website, which was crazy confusing. The pills had different directions on the back of the bottle than the website. Some of the pills burned in my stomach so I didn't take them. Very expensive since they also do not honor their refund policy.

They also have an F rating with the BBB and several unanswered complaints.

I had the same problem when returning the herbal products. They would not refund me. They don't return my calls or emails. Have had to involve Paypal but they lie to Paypal. My credit card company is investigating them now.

I purchased a 7 day cleansing package and added herbal products to my order. I returned all the herbal products and the company would not give me my refund despite their full refund money back guarantee - no questions asked - have been really shocked that they won't honor their guarantee.

Hi! My mom just ordered this cleanse for herself, she thought she was ordering from Juice Plus but ended up with Good Cleanse. Their website is down and they sent no instructions... any chance you could help with when and what to drink?

GREAT review! Thanks for all the details. You are a great blogger. I'm going for it! Thanks Tiffany Alesha!

Fair warning: This is the WORST company I have ever dealt with. They have not sent my product nor will they issue me a refund. I paid $94 for a 3 day cleanse (again, not received or refunded).

I am so unimpressed with this company, I'm kicking myself for not finding these negative reviews earlier! I ordered a 7 day cleanse which is super, super expensive especially with their ridiculous shipping costs! They delivered late AND they just ran out of the green juices so sent me double of the bee pollen juice meaning for a whole week I have no greens in my diet!! There was no note of apology for this in my shipment and when I emailed them, this is the response I got (literally copy pasted, there was no greeting message or goodbye!!):

"Sometimes we run out of certain flavors and rather than holding up your we will sub them out. Sorry for any inconvenience"

That's it! I replied and said I wasn't happy with this response but was ignored. DO NOT use this company, there's no point in supporting a company with such poor customer service. Rather spend your money on the companies that care!

I know this is an old post, but I was looking for somewhere to rate this company! This is what came up. I really wish there was some sort of yelp page. I ordered my first cleanse from them and everything was fine. then, i ordered a one day cleanse from them about a month ago...not only was it late but when it arrived, there was absolutely no ice packs, nothing! everything was completely spoiled! I called the company and told them and the guy on the phone told me that they do not put ice packs with one day cleanses???? uhm ok...then he told me he would ship me another. Its been three weeks and I havent gotten anything at all and they did not even respond to my emails. They completely just robbed me of my 60 bucks! I would not reccomend this company, they are frauds! I cant even get anyone on the phone now! Makes me really wonder if their juices are even organic etc. DONT ORDER FROM THESE PEOPLE!
